The latching apparatus is made a part of the male AUI connector, and includes a key for engaging and operating the locking member of the female AUI connector. The key can be incorporated into any device or mating connector which attaches to the AUI connector of an Ethernet.RTM. LAN adapter. The key is operated by hand and in one embodiment is coupled to a switch for modifying an Ethernet.RTM. signal to indicate whether the lock is in the locked or in the unlocked position.
